Today I saw on the news how a woman lied about her race to be in a better position to "help people of color" and she believes in her heart she did nothing wrong. How about simply being truthful?
When you do the right things in the right way, you have nothing to lose because you have nothing to fear.” – Zig Ziglar
It is ALWAYS worth it to do the right thing – ALWAYS!
Truth is truth. Right is right and wrong is wrong, and there just isn’t a right reason to have to lie about who you are.
It’s so easy for people to get sucked into situations where start thinking you can justify doing the wrong thing in order to get the right result you hope for. I just think we have to do everything in our power not to let ourselves get sucked into that trap. We have to constantly remember that no result is ever worth doing the wrong thing for….period.
When we are willing to stand up for what is right and uphold the truth we can walk away without regrets, regardless of the outcome. Because right is right and at the end of the day all that matters is that we live our life with integrity because our integrity defines who we truly are. This woman was the head of the NAACP a National Association for Colored People.
“People of character do the right thing even if no one else does, not because they think it will change the world, but because they refuse to be changed by the world.” -Michael Josephson
Today I was reminded how important it is to be truthful to yourself and others. What you see is what you get. No need of pretending something you are not.
